Disable/Enable Codec drivers and DirectShow filters
If you install multiple Codec packages and other multimedia software on the same computer, you might find out that some multimedia files are not played properly as before. This problem is occurred if Windows Media Player (or any other player) uses the codec or filter of the newly installed multimedia software. If you install a new Codec package and something goes wrong, you can try to fix the problem disabling the newly installed components. To easily find out the newly installed components, try to click the "Installed/Modfied Time" column, the components list will be sorted by installation time, and then you"ll find most of the newly installed Codec or DirectShow filters in the end of the list.
